CAPITAL BUDGET.
A SMALL SALE.

A SMALL SALE.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4-The offerings OF
bonds to the government continue light
aud 1t Is now thought that the balance OF
the S14 600 600 called for by the circular
of September 22nd, will not be secured by
the 9Th instant II Is therefore likely that
the period fixed for the purchase of bonds
for the sinking fund may be extended a
few DAYS, or that Secretary Fairchild may
decide to allow the offer to remain open
Indefinitely until the required amount shall
have been obtained. Today's offerings
aggregated S158. $50, Of which 1854, 400
were 4 1-2s and $14, 450 4 per cents.
TREASURY INCREASE.
A statement prepared at the treasury de-
partment shows that during the month OF
September there was a net increase of 49,,
1908 in circulation and net increase OF
$7,2G4, 1856 in the cash IN the treasury.
THE OLD STORY.
The old story that English syndicates
are resorting to extreme measures TO dis
possess settlers from syndicate lands pur-
chased from western roads was revived
here today. No official information has
been received on the subject at the interior
department.
DENIES THE APPLICATION.
Commissioner Sparks, Of the general
land office, has received from the surveyor
general Of Arizona, report of his action
on the application made 10 his office for q
preliminary survey Of the old Peralto
private land claim in that territory, which
embraces 4 100000 acres. The surveyor
general declines to entertain the applica-
ton, for the reason that congress has with
held from his office the usual appropriation
!, II ADMINISTRATION Of private land claims,
= md as an investigation would be necessary
in this case the application Is denied. This
claim is the same which Commissioner
Sparks discussed at length In bis annual
report Of 1885, and in which 1t Is believed
by the commissioner, he fully established
its fraudulent character
EXCEPT ON BUSINESS.
The interior department has decided to
adhere TO the rule already IN force not TO
issue permits to persons TO enter the Indian
Territory for hunting, fishing, etc, and
has recently refused to issue permits on
several requests. The action of the de
partment is influenced by the objections of
the Indians. Persons having important
business in the Territory can procure per
mits as heretofore.
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CLUE.
The National Republican club of the
District of Columbia perfected its perma-
nent organization this evening by the cleo
ton Of Hon. A. n. Clapp, permanent
president. c. Rice secretary, Major A. K.
Richards treasurer. and vice-presidents to
represent each state and territory and the
District Of Columbia. The vice-presidents
are chiefly senators and Representatives in
congress. This is distinctly political
club. There has heretofore been no organ
ization of the kind in this city except the
small state associations composed of office
holders, although there are two prominent
Democratic cluoss one of which has been
in existence for many years.

What About Those Guns?

HALIFAX, Aug. 16.-The telegraph
wires between New Bruins wick and
Halifax were crowded all day yester-
day with Inquiries as to the sources o.
the rumors that a Canadian cruiser
had sunk an American fisherman, and
it has been learned positively that re-
ports of a gun were heard off
BOuctouohe harbor some days ago.
They were heard between and
8 O'Clock in the morning and
were thought by people not yet
out OF their houses to be pesls
Of thunder but the sky was cloudless in
all directions. The story then goes on
to say that man came to the village
from the shore and reported that an I'M
known Dominion fishery cruiser had dis
mantled and sunk an American fisher
man, the vessel going down with every
soul on board. The story is discredited.

The Drouth Affecting Trade.
New York Tribune.

The effect Of a partial loss OF crops Ia
quickly felt in shrinkage Of sales by
manufacturers and merchants. II farm
ers have planted seventy-eight million
acres OF corn, and expended thereon the
labor necessary to secure an average
yield OF twenty-six bushels to the acre,
and IL bad weather reduces the yield on
half the area to fifteen bushels per acre,
the loss OF four hundred million bushels
Is serious matter to the farmers In the
region affected. Thus it is reported at
Chicago that merchants are already con-
WINGED that their trade will suffer,
though the effect is felt as yet only in
the form Of cancelled orders.
